Weekend Numbers | actuals | 30.15M KFP IV | 28.50M DUNE II
narniadis replied to kayumanggi's topic in Numbers and Data
I assume a combo of Spring Break (which inflated Friday) and maybe early St. Paddys Day stuff? To be under 50% for both of them is tough, but not terribly out of line with the last couple of years. -
Weekend Numbers | actuals | 30.15M KFP IV | 28.50M DUNE II

The shock of Panda 2 still stings - pretty sure in Baumer's Summer Game I had it in the over 300m camp (expected it to be similar to Shrek on a smaller scale.) But the one thing that most tend to forget about HTTYD versus the sequel is that ticket sales wise it held / maybe even slightly increased. Most tend to forget (especially if Box Office wasn't your thing) that HTTYD was part of the post Avatar 3D trifecta of Alice-Clash-HTTYD where 3D played a big part in the ATP. HTTYD2 didn't have nearly the same % since 3D usage nosedived in the 4.25 years between releases and frankly, they waited a year too long as well. I am glad to see Panda 4 doing so well though was afraid that it would continue the trend from 2 and 3. Loving the Dune run, hopefully when I finally get a chance to see it I enjoy it more than the first. -
Be curious if it can maintain the lead all week or if Wonka will bop back today with discounts.

What over dramatic tripe... Luiz makes it read like he has never followed box office before. Whats he gonna say when Migration is -90% week to week and 80%+ all this week?? 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Wealth is spread around, but you can definitely feel the lack of punch that comes from the lack of a massive film. We had been spoiled the last 7-8 years. Very much reminds me of Decembers in the past.

That would be normal for most family leaning films. The week of 1/1-1/7 in this calendar is still a holiday for a big % of schools. Then on 1/8 99% of schools are back so Migration will have a drop that day alone of 80%+ from Sunday and at least the same from 1/1 since it was NYD. And yes, as noted above Ferdinand was also 1 full week later into its run. Means that it has less contracted space to keep on top of the back to school lag.

Trying to get tickets for Sherlock was bonkers that day 😂 I ultimately don't recall if it was that or Avatar that we watched (saw both that weekend on different days.) Such. Busy season that truly hasnt been repeated. But then again, the same could be said about 2009 as a whole. That year was like the final bit of the old ways and it all changed after that.

Deep rural Texas and for most, Disney as an entire company can go jump off a cliff. Which is funny when I know many have D+. Middle America has a big issue with the company just as M37 said, but it had been brewing for a long time before the Florida stupidity. Cost and unappealing product are definitely a major factor. I have 4 kids, and they adore most of this stuff. Guess what, Mario was the only film we have taken them to in theaters and it was due to a $4 ticket deal. Can't afford to take them all out for $12+ a pop in the nice theaters when I just paid $120 for an entire years membership for their favorite Children's science place (and I have access in all major cities in the state/nation.) @TwoMisfits keeps harping the price point stuff for the family films, and I think some of yall just don't get it, but she is 100% right. We have watched every major family film, but all on streaming because it's what we can afford. No plans for Wish, Trolls or Migration either. 🤷♂️

Wouldn't be BOT if everyone was logical and even keeled about what is happening versus playing to "muh feelings..." not new, but yeah, this is an odd pearl to clutch on with the evidence we do have. At least they aren't doubling down like WB did with Flash on Marvels as if it was the best thing to have hit cinema before it flopped to the heavens.

Weak is relative, weak yes if it was drawing the adult crowd. But considering how young the demos were, it seems fine to me. Caveat being of course that its also frontloaded.

Normal. It kills whatever day its on for non-horror.

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
narniadis replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
Its also just a mediocre hohum of a film. Wife and I had a chance to finally watch it last week and my wife said it was stupid and dull and she loved the first one. I could care less for either of them. BB at least looks interesting? Not sure if that makes a difference anymore tbh, but it doesnt exactly look the same. Imo. -
Its not a revelation, as much as the proverbial "when its my turn I won't do that / be that way / etc," that life bites you with. Similar to how when I have kids they will never .... and then you wake up one day and realize that you lived in a fantasy world as a young "care free" adult. For years a movie every Friday night was our norm, and we had our group who went - then it changed one by one as responsibilities were added or changed. It is just a fact of life - and a prime reason why films that attract the older crowd due on average tend to leg it out, versus the rush of the younger set. I've made it to the theater twice so far this year - once to take my kids to Mario and once for a date night with my wife when we saw Guardians. But that took a month to set up and ensure and it was a 6 hour window by the time driving and dinner were factored in, and we stayed local in my rural area. The kind of screen truly needed for MI would add 2 hours of drive time. Somethings fall by the wayside, not due to lack of interest but it ends up not being a bigger priority like it was 20 years ago.

I remember when I used to think not making it to a movie I wanted to see in the theater meant I wasnt interested. Then real life happened. Its hard enough to find time to watch a full movie at home during the week when one is shuffling all of life and kids and living. My wife and I have been trying to watch the MI series since she hasn't seen and we have been hung up on the time just on 5 and 6. By the time our kids are down and we can even think about it, its too late with work the next day. Let alone finding time to go to the theater - which for us would be a 5-6hr total time frame and a babysitter. Its not all cut and dried as the young pups seem to think in this thread.

Like to me, the Monday number is the first truly disappointing number. The rest have all been within my expectations (if a fraction low), but I firmly expected ~6.5m or so if not a tad higher. Just based on past behavior for the franchise and the demographics and type of film. Makes me uber curious what today does then.
